deep in the womb the seed has sprouted

deep in the womb the seed has sprouted

deep in the womb the seed has sprouted a miracle unfolds
an ancient mystery awakens the creation of life has begun
the finite and infinite bleed forming intricate invisible souls
ignore the coming of the forsaken placed under a dying sun
unknowing the mother nurtures the father already departed
cell by cell an individual grows unnamed in shameless dark
chooses from a myriad of futures decided chance imparted
however the tide of time flows be it muted blurred or stark
digging down into dank ground as roots spread and entwine
earth accepts with no questions the tree a weed or a flower
in flood or drought to be found oozing out primordial slime
learning all the difficult lessons sweet sugar or vinegar sour
eternity waits both birth or dying the differences negligible
of silence whimpers or the crying of the universes ineffable
